All About Pocket Knives

This Queen had cracks in the scales and was crying out for a new life.
Crowned her with some stag.

She's a beaut!!

Nice job Tony!

Wow Tony that's really nice. Just out of curiosity, how many times have you re-handled before?

It's... it's...*sniff* so BEAUTIFUL!

The new handles have transformed this knife from plain Jane with pin crack to Handsome Harry with great Stag. Wish i had the skill to do such a fine job.

What KJ said. Gorgeous.

That one sure is a "looker" now! What pattern number is it?

Excellent, better than new I tried it once, it looked like Stevie Wonder did it.

Thanks fellas, for taking the time to stop and comment.

Not very many. I have made many fixed blades, and seven folders.
I have had less than ten folders apart, and this is my third re-handle. I learn something new every time.

Mini Stockman, so a 26? Nothing is stamped on the blades other than the Queen stamp.

Nice job Tony!!!
You improved the looks of that knife 600%!

Fantastic!

A super fine rehab.

Well done, Tony. That stag is SWEEEEEET!

Oh man, that is SEXY! Great looking stag!

All of the above!!! John

Wow, after seeing that knife, I would have assumed you had been re-handling knives for years. Great job!!!

Great Job Tony! Question: Do you break the knife down completely to re cover? I haven't had much success (even with a steady I found on Ebay) pinning covers on to a pocket knife unless I do a complete dis-assemble. And even then the results havn't been great. Thanks for sharing!

That's a massive improvement love your work mate

Absolutely beautiful!!!

Yes. I take the knife completely apart. Clean, usually have to turn pin stock for the correct size, then reassemble.
I’m sure that many fellows here do not break the knife down when recovering. I’m not that skilled yet.
